"Shirin Ebadi offered no criticism of the government of Iran, which the State Department calls the leading sponsor of international terrorism. She did, however, offer a series of critical remarks about the Bush administration."

Parents.....please don't let your kids grow up and go to Stanford...and become lawyers......what a WASTE of $$$$.

It is hard to believe that a university founded by a rip-roaring capitalist like Leland Stanford has fallen so low. Shirin Ebadi is known for her specious argument that there is no contradiction between Islamic Law (Sharia) and the modern exposition of human rights. She is as mendacious as Rigoberta Menchu, another Nobel prizewinner, and I'll wager that Menchu has been a welcome guest at Stanford.
